How to Draw Sunset Shimmer

Step 1.

Let's begin by making the head, body and limb guides like so. You will also need to sketch in the facial guidelines.

Step 2.

Here draw the left ear, then draw in the angle of her face shape which includes the nose, mouth and some of the head.

Step 3.

Cap the open gap on the head with her mane. Even though Sunset Shimmer is known to be evil, she still has a beautiful flowing mane. Draw in her unicorn horn, then move along to step four.

Step 4.

Now we will give Sunset Shimmer her angry expression on her face by drawing the long slants for the brows, then from there draw the shapes of her eyes. Add the mouth detailing, then draw in the definition on the horn.

Step 5.

You are already almost done with this tutorial. Draw the neck, chest, front leg and back leg. When that is done you will need to add the stomach too.

Step 6.

Draw in the rest of her legs, then add a bit of detailing to the hind leg before hopping to step seven.

Step 7.

And lastly, draw in Sunset Shimmer's long wavy tail and then her cutie mark which is a burning shimmering sun. Erase all your mistakes and you are done.

Step 8.

Add some color to your MLP character to bring her to life, but keep her away from the other ponies.

If you are an avid fan of My Little Pony friendship is Magic, or My Little Pony Equestria Girls, you will enjoy this lesson on one of the few ponies that are actually known to be villains. Here is "how to draw Sunset Shimmer", step by step. She used to be Princess Celestia's student but then went rouge and became this bitter, arrogant, self centered pony that always seemed to have conflicting relationships with the rest of the ponies. I had a lot of fun with creating her into a drawing lesson. I hope you enjoy drawing Sunset Shimmer along with all the other My Little Pony characters. I still have a lot more tuts coming your way so stay tuned in to see what or who they will be on. Adios amigos.
